BSC6900 UMTS Commissioning Guide

The BSC6900 commissioning can be performed remotely or locally. Remote commissioning is performed by the remote engineer (technical owner of the BSC). In this mode, multiple BSCs can be commissioned simultaneously in the central equipment room. Local commissioning is performed by the site engineer (commissioning owner in the BSC equipment room). In this mode, the site engineer connects a PC to the BSC and performs the commissioning through the LMT. There is also another commissioning mode: remote commissioning based on local cooperation. In this mode, the commissioning is performed by both the remote engineer and the site engineer. 4 Checking the Operating Status of the Hardware Before verifying the equipment, ensure that the cabinet is powered on and operates normally. 5 Verifying the OMU This describes how to verify the OMU to enable the normal communication between the LMT and the BSC6900. The OMU verification involves installing the OMU operating system and OMU application, checking the OMU operation status, and changing the external fixed IP address and external virtual IP address of the OMU on site. 6 Logging In to the BSC6900 Through the LMT This chapter describes how to log in to the BSC6900 through the LMT and enable the normal communication. LMT verification ensures the BSC6900 commissioning through the LMT. 7 Updating the OMU Database This describes how to update configuration data in the OMU database by running MML commands. 8 Activating and Verifying the License This chapter describes how to activate the license and verify the license configuration information to enable service checking. 9 Loading BSC6900 Board Software and Data Files This chapter describes how to load the BSC6900 board software and data files to enable the normal operation of the BSC6900. 10 Connecting the BSC6900 to the M2000 This chapter describes how to connect the BSC6900 to the M2000 for the centralized management. 11 Verifying Interfaces This section describes how to verify interfaces. The interfaces to be verified are Iub, Iu-CS, IuPS, Iur, and Iu-BC interfaces.The Iur interface verification is mandatory when the BSC6900 is connected to another RNC. 12 Handling the Alarms Generated During the Commissioning This chapter describes how to handle the alarms generated during the commissioning, thus preventing the alarms from affecting the verification of services. 13 Verifying the UMTS Services This chapter describes how to verify that the UMTS basic services and the feature services that are enabled are normal. The basic services consist of voice service, CS streaming service, PS

Commissioning Process

The BSC6900 commissioning can be performed remotely or locally. Remote commissioning is performed by the remote engineer (technical owner of the BSC). In this mode, multiple BSCs can be commissioned simultaneously in the central equipment room. Local commissioning is performed by the site engineer (commissioning owner in the BSC equipment room). In this mode, the site engineer connects a PC to the BSC and performs the commissioning through the LMT. There is also another commissioning mode: remote commissioning based on local cooperation. In this mode, the commissioning is performed by both the remote engineer and the site engineer. Figure 3-1 shows the commissioning process.

Action Run the MML command SET E1T1LOP, and then set Loop type to NO_LOOP (NO_LOOP) to stop the loopback test on the optical port.

If... The values of Port State. in the result are AVAILABLE, The values of Port State. in the result are LINK_DOWN,

Then... The SDH port is available. Go to step Step 2. The SDH port is faulty. Replace the interface board carrying the faulty SDH port.

Step 2 Perform the loopback test on the local fiber. Table 16-13 Procedure for performing the loopback test on the local fiber Step 2-1 2-2 2-3 Action Perform fiber physical loopback at the local end, that is, connect the TX end of the fiber to the RX end of the fiber. Run the MML command DSP E1T1 to query the state of the port. Stop the fiber physical loopback at the local end.

If... The values of Port State. in the result are AVAILABLE, The values of Port State. in the result are LINK_DOWN,

Then... The local fiber is available. Go to step Step 3. The local fiber is faulty. Replace the faulty fiber.

Step 3 Perform the loopback test on the peer optical port. Table 16-14 Procedure for performing the loopback test on the peer optical port Step 3-1 3-2 3-3 Action Run the MML command SET OPTLOP, and then set Loop type to REMOTE_LOOP(REMOTE_LOOP). Run the MML command DSP OPT at the peer end to query the result of the loopback. Run the MML command SET E1T1LOP at the peer end, and then set Loop type to NO_LOOP(NO_LOOP) to stop the loopback test on the optical port.
